PREVIEW - Episode 228 The Mystery of False Apostles: Deception in the Early Church

The early Church was not immune to infiltration, as Paul warned of false apostles who sought to corrupt the faith from within.

Bible Mysteries is an educational ministry podcast exposing the ancient spiritual battle in the modern world. We seek to reveal the secrets in the Scriptures that current satanic world systems are trying to suppress. Join us each week as we discuss things in the Bible the world doesn’t want you to know.

Query:
When we consider that Judas Iscariot was one of the 12 Apostles, it should not be hard to believe that Satan would have an “inside man” in other aspects of the Church. This infiltration would include the Church of the 1st Century. Is it possible that when Paul spoke of false apostles, he spoke about people he knew? Did false apostles take over the Church at Jerusalem before Peter died? Who are these mysterious false apostles?

Takeaway:
It is not a stretch to conclude that the brethren of Jesus were motivated by money to usurp the authority of the Jerusalem church. The evidence is there for those who wish to study and come to their own conclusion. One thing is sure: the history of the church in Jerusalem is one of an apostate church, and much of the world followed suit. Christ warned of deception, false brethren, false prophets, and false apostles. We should pay heed to His warnings!
